I really hate this guy. Yesterday, I decided to bench him because he has been shit the past two weeks and looked like he was going on one those epic cold streaks. I thought to play Barmes as he was at home against the Nationals. Seems Like a good move, right? No, Uggla hits a three run shot in garbage time. SONAVABENCH! You know what the worst part was? I absolutely KNEW this was going to happen but I told myself to be logical and go with the best matchup. I hate Uggla. I would have taken the lead in HR and RBI with that.

That's why I always start him. He's one of those guys you hate to start and get a 0-5 night out of, but are rewarded when he goes 1-5 with a hr and 3rbi.
